Assignment : The Need for Wireless Standards and Protocols

The networking field, to include wireless networking, defines many standards to govern network and wireless network operations.

It is important to become familiar with the standards organizations and their current standards, standards that are currently being revised, and new standards being considered.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Select one (1) national standards organization and one (1) international standards organization that impacts wireless technologies. Describe the impact that each standards organization has in wireless technologies on the planning and development of corporate networks.

2. Assess the breadth of the standards provided by each of the previously chosen organizations (national and international) and address where advancements or enhancements are needed.

3. Select one (1) formal and one (1) de facto wireless standard. Assess the relative importance of that standard and address if the standard will remain stable, if there are enhancements that are currently needed, or if the standard will soon become obsolete.

4. Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
